Which Should You Buy?
Favonius is a divisive take on the often-recycled rose-oud combo. Some hail it as a refined, elegant masterpiece with beastly performance, while others find its green, fruity-oud blend a bit too chaotic, even synthetic. It's a bold one, so definitely try before you buy.
No 81 captures MFK Oud Silk Mood's smooth, luminous oud direction reasonably well, but it lacks the hedione-driven radiance that gives the original its refined, almost weightless quality.
